As you drop a boombox they bob and dance around it, and you can get them throwing frisbees to each other. There’s a simple but effective art style here, and the dogs react in cartoonish ways to the toys that you plop in front of them. Believability is let off the leash, and you have dogs on the Moon, playing arcade games and strutting around in Elton John sunglasses. The world around you is at least somewhat colourful and jolly. It’s like Pupperazzi doesn’t want you to play. You’re also capped on how many photos you can post online in a given play session. And who wants to be careful in a world where dogs are riding on skateboards and dancing around you? You want to be grabbing photos at every opportunity. Rather than take photos willy-nilly, you are forced to be careful. So, you’re taking ten photos and then having to sort through and ‘recycle’ the ones you don’t want. You have a limited number of photos that you can take (admittedly, with the ability to purchase more as the game goes on). It’s even little things like how Pupperazzi handles film. This is an awkward little toy, and you could see everyone’s face sink as they played with it. But we’ve played free-to-play Roblox games that take this concept and nail it better. It should be something that a younger player could jump into easily. Pupperazzi should be casual and pick-up-and-play. There are dozens of buttons to learn, and far too many options buried in menus. You can’t take a photo while holding a toy, so you’re juggling the two. Rub a dog’s head and the camera lifts above the dog, which means you have to track the camera downwards to take a photo of the amorous pup – and by that time, the little scallywag has run after something else. If you want a dog to follow you or show you affection, you have to pet it, but that dog is then in your face, and you can’t take a photo of it. Welcome to the list: you have to dip into menus to change lenses. But taking a good picture is magnitudes more awkward and complicated than it needs to be. Taking a picture isn’t too bad: you zoom with LT and then take a picture with RT.
